2040 - Finding out about Food

In this lesson, students will be immersed in and connect with the documentary film 2040, focusing on the topic of food. Students begin by thinking about where our food comes from, and then work in groups to explore some of the big issues relating to food, including waste, packaging, transport, farming, and healthy eating. Students undertake research into a big issue and then work collaboratively as a class to create a montage of big issues.

Students then explore some of the solutions to these big issues, undertaking research and sharing what they have learnt through a presentation. Finally, students are asked to work collaboratively to create their own food 2040 script and scene.

We’ve taken elements of this lesson and adapted them for remote learning. You can find this activity here.
